Radio Mi Amigo 272 besteedde op 31 augustus 1979 vanaf haar zendschip MS Magdalena behoorlijk wat aandacht aan de geschiedenis. Ferry Eden nam de luisteraars mee met oude fragmenten. De luisteraars in Goes werden ook genoemd. In de opname die ik in Vlissingen maakte zijn ook stukjes te horen van Radio Caroline vanaf haar zendschip MV Mi Amigo. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dBSRLfR_C7xAK5GCTDWXaw1xwQdQ8qCB/view?usp=drivesdk

Op 29 september 1978 nam ik in Vlissingen bijgevoegde stukjes op van Radio Caroline met Roger Matthews en Samantha Dubois. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oHHduMdCMJVMTUC7J27LWhfSclrZeaWS/view?usp=drivesdk

Now Great news as Norman Barrington wrote: As many of you will probably know, I have a rather large archive of jingles, and having worked on Caroline in the 1970s have an extensive collection of Caroline related material. In October 2020, Ray Anderson of Jumbo Records & EAP fame approached me with the idea of combining our collections to make a spectacular collection of Caroline Jingles, Commercials, Production and Themes. In other words the material that made Caroline sound the way it did. I started a long overdue organising my own collection and also called in items from former DJs, colleagues and friends, even some original jingle producers. The names of everyone that helped are on the back cover, much appreciated. We decided to include everything possible from both North & South ships, the Dutch era and the Ross Revenge. We also thought we should include other names associated with the ships, namely Atlantis, Radio Mi Amigo, Radio Seagull and Radio Monique. The entire story in sound from 1964-1990 at sea. I started out with the Jimmy Smith, Madeline Bell & Doris Troy package which I had on a master tape from Chesterfield Gardens, not only super quality but you may hear cuts you have not heard before, followed by the short ‘Sound-a-like’ mini set which I am convinced is the Barron Knights though I could be wrong “If you listen it sounds like Caroline”. Next “Proof of Purchase shows” like Caroline Cash Casino and Partners in Profit featuring Colin Berry amongst others. Loads of classic commercials from Caroline North and South too. The there is the clever editing of other stations’ mostly American made jingles, although ‘borrowed’ those jingles truly became their own. Caroline became “The Station with the Happy Difference”. The ingenuity of certain DJs with razor blades in hand, together with great imagination, is breathtaking. From the likes of Robbie Dale and Don Allen in the 1960’s to Steve England, Brian Anderson and – ahem – yours truly, in the 1970’s resulted in Caroline having the greatest repertoire of jingles & production to be heard anywhere, more in fact than all the other pirates put together. After all the US DJ’s of 1967-68 and the guys from Radio England brought all their station’s collection to Caroline too. Little did I know then that it would require FIVE full CDs to capture all the magic of the world’s most famous Pirate Radio Station. As you can tell this was a labour of love for me, and I like the idea of sharing with others these pieces of radio history. Plus I have finally sorted my own collection into some semblance of order! Well five months later it is NOW AVAILABLE complete with 32 page colour booklet. Whether it’s the 60’s, the 70’s, or 80’s that you remember, you can relive those four decades once again with this uniquely comprehensive Radio Caroline Platinum Jingle Collection.

I had the luck to get an early preview and on the day I received the set, I heard the first 4 items on cd1 and, although I collected jingles for many decades too, I must admit this is a top production with a lot of material I never heard before and above that top quality. So a big compliment to Norman, Ray, Paul Graham and others involved. When ordering you will be as happy as I am having this marvelous collection. http://www.radiofab.com/itemdetails.php?quicksearch=radio caroline platinum&recordid=185

Conquistador – Aqua. Conquistador was een gelegenheidstrio van studiomuzikanten, die verantwoordelijk was voor het inspelen van de herkenningstune van het WK voetbal in Argentinië. Het nummer Aqua kwam in 1979 uit en werd gecomponeerd door het duo Janschen en Janschens, dat pseudoniemen waren voor Hans van Hemert en Piet Souer. Op Radio Caroline werd in de zomer van 1979 Aqua ingezet als filler op weg naar het hele uur en wel door Ad Roberts. Conquistador - Aqua.

New Model Army – Vagabonds. New Model Army werd in 1981 opgericht en bestaat nog steeds. Het nummer Vagabonds werd door Justin Sulivan gecomponeerd in 1987 en verscheen in 1989 op de lp ‘Thunder and Consalation’. Het is een vocaal nummer maar met een instrumentaal intro van 1 min 32 seconden. Ruim genoeg voor Steve Conway op Radio Caroline om een promotiespot in te spreken in januari 1989 voor een speciale trip met The Olau Brittannia op Paaszondag dat jaar om het 25 jarig bestaan te vieren van Radio Caroline. Er werd dus langs de Ross Revenge gevaren en the Caroline Movement, die de tocht organiseerde, bood dit tripje, tegen betaling, aan. Zelfs Ronan O’Rahilly was op deze tocht aanwezig. New Model Army - Vagabonds. New Model Army was formed in 1981 and still exists today. The song Vagabonds was composed by Justin Sullivan in 1987 and appeared on the album 'Thunder and Consalation' in 1989. It is a vocal song but with an instrumental intro of 1 min 32 sec. More than enough for Steve Conway on Radio Caroline to record a promotional spot in January 1989 for a special trip with The Olau Brittannia on Easter Sunday that year to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Radio Caroline. So they sailed past the Ross Revenge and the Caroline Movement, who organised the trip, offered this trip, for a fee. Even Ronan O'Rahilly was present on this trip. https://filesender.surf.nl/?s=download&token=5868ba2e-5c06-47b8-ae0a-faa321617a5c

Paul McCartney and Wings – Singalong junk. Staat al uitgebreid in de lijst en kan worden aangevuld: De instrumentale versie van dit nummer is afkomstig van de in 1970 verschenen lp McCartney en was het debuut soloalbum van Paul McCartney, uitgebracht op 17 april 1970 door Apple Records. McCartney nam het in het geheim op, meestal met behulp van eenvoudige thuisopnameapparatuur in zijn huis in St John's Wood. Het mixen en sommige opnamen vonden plaats in professionele Londense studio's. Afgezien van incidentele bijdragen van zijn toenmalige vrouw Linda, voerde McCartney het hele album alleen uit door te overdubben op vier-sporen tape. Het was Paul de Wit (Erik de Zwart) die op 9 december 1979 voorgoed afscheid nam van zijn collega’s en de luisteraars van Radio Caroline, waarbij hij gebruik maakte van Singalong junk. Paul McCartney and Wings - Singalong junk. Already in the list and can be added: The instrumental version of this song is taken from the 1970 album McCartney and Wings, which was Paul McCartney's debut solo album, released on 17 April 1970 by Apple Records. McCartney recorded it in secret, mostly using simple home recording equipment at his home in St John's Wood. Mixing and some recording took place in professional London studios. Apart from occasional contributions from his then wife Linda, McCartney performed the entire album alone by overdubbing on four-track tape. It was Paul de Wit (Erik de Zwart) who said goodbye to his colleagues and the listeners of Radio Caroline for good on 9 December 1979, using Singalong junk. https://filesender.surf.nl/?s=download&token=d62597b5-4c71-409a-b10b-4536c07fbda6

Mike Oldfield en Maggie Reilly – Blue Peter Een heerlijk folkloristisch deuntje dat in 1979 werd uitgebracht op het Virgin label. Mike Oldfield, die we vooral kennen van zijn eerste lp Tubulor Bells, kreeg assistentie van de Schotse zangeres Maggie Reilly. Begin 1980 kwam het nummer in Nederland uit en werd aan boord van de Mi Amigo in de Nederlandstalige uitzendingen van Radio Caroline door Hugo de Groot als filler gebruikt. De persoon die deze vondst deelde, Theo van Halsema, bezocht de Mi Amigo in 1979 en constateerde dat er in het rek met spotmastercartridges en doosje zat met de tekst ‘overheenluldeuntje’. Mike Oldfield and Maggie Reilly - Blue Peter A delightful folk tune released on the Virgin label in 1979. Mike Oldfield, who we especially know from his first album Tubulor Bells, was assisted by the Scottish singer Maggie Reilly. At the beginning of 1980 the song was released in the Netherlands and was used as a filler by Hugo de Groot in the Dutch-language broadcasts of Radio Caroline. The person who shared this find, Theo van Halsema, visited the Mi Amigo in 1979 and found that the rack with spotmaster cartridges and box contained the text 'talk over dick tune'. https://filesender.surf.nl/?s=download&token=59508107-5a1f-44a3-bc70-ecf4f56a9529

New World Orchestra – Bumblebee. Instrumentaal nummer van de New World Orchestra uit 1977 op het Fleet Label. Het is een variatie op de klassieke compositie ‘Flight of the Bumble bee’ dat onderdeel was van de in 1900 voor het eerst uitgevoerde opera ‘The tale of Tsar Saltan’. Componist was Nikolai Rimski Korsakov. De moderne bewerking werd op 18 maart 1980 gebruikt als tune van het programma ‘Smakelijk Eten’ op Radio Caroline, gepresenteerd door Hans van der Laan, ofwel Ton Lathouwers. Net aan boord kwam het zendschip Mi Amigo in ernstige problemen en werd de bemanning in de nacht van 19 op 20 maart gelukkig gered, waarna het schip zonk. Opmerkelijke woorden bij het einde van ‘Smakelijk Eten’: . Het zit er op het eerste live programma. Ik zal het mij altijd blijven herinneren.’ New World Orchestra - Bumblebee. Instrumental number of the New World Orchestra from 1977 on the Fleet Label. It is a variation on the classical composition 'Flight of the Bumble bee' that was part of the opera 'The tale of Tsar Saltan', first performed in 1900. The composer was Nikolai Rimsky Korsakov. The modern adaptation was used on 18 March 1980 as a tune for the programme 'Smakelijk Eten' on Radio Caroline, presented by Hans van der Laan, or Ton Lathouwers. Just aboard the broadcasting ship Mi Amigo ran into serious trouble and fortunately the crew was rescued in the night of 19-20 March, after which the ship sank. Remarkable words at the end of 'Enjoy your meal': . It is on the first live programme. I will always remember it'. https://filesender.surf.nl/?s=download&token=f7dbd60a-7236-42a1-8f1e-12ce991eff22 no you tube version
